Re: saddle bag style gas tanks
I haven't personally seen any tanks of that style advertised for these year burbs/panels. I'm wondering if someone "updated" it with the next generation style tanks.

Re: saddle bag style gas tanks
Back-in-the-day there were several makes of tanks. They were popular in the west where 200 miles from the OE tank wasn't enough.
I installed a 40 gallon square body Suburban tank. It really wasn't too difficult.

Re: saddle bag style gas tanks
Talk to a local RV center and see if they can recondition your tank. Those tanks are very rare now.

Re: saddle bag style gas tanks
Take them to a Radiator shop. If there are any holes use fiberglass cloth and kbs coatings.
